Nip in the Bud

Nip in the Bud® was set up to encourage awareness about mental health disorders in children. These relatively common problems which begin in childhood and adolescence can have wide-ranging and long-lasting effects, affecting a child’s relationships, their educational attainment and job opportunities. If left untreated, they could also develop into serious mental and physical health problems and have significant economic and social costs, not just to the individuals and their families, but later in life to the health and criminal justice system too. With early intervention things can be very different.
